School Finances

Fall/Winter 2019 will be the first time that school-level financial data will be available on the Report Card. Per the Every Student Succeeds Act, beginning with 2018-19 school year data, ISBE will report “the per-pupil expenditures of Federal, State, and local funds, including actual personnel expenditures and actual non-personnel expenditures of Federal, State, and local funds, disaggregated by source of funds, for each local educational agency and each school in the State for the preceding fiscal year.”

To prepare for this new data collection and reporting, ISBE has convened a diverse stakeholder group from across the state to advise upon implementation. The public results of this group’s work are available at www.isbe.net/site-based and include guidance for reporting entities, introductory webinars, and routinely updated trainings.
